The DJ Tutor (and his Youtube videos)

The DJ tutor aka Ellaskins is a DJ who has 962 videos on youtube and his own website and forums for helping DJs. Although his videos are interesting to watch... when the only things that I allready new proved him wrong or I majorly disagreed with his opinion it's a bit worrying about the other things that he's said that I didn't know.

 

Top of the list would be

-He thinks a bar is a phrase... ("the melody will change with a new bar" or similar) as well as him actually counting phrases as if they were bars

-He also confuses beats with bars

-He's a youtube fanboi... I mean really some of the stuff he's requested videos for are just too detailed for the low quality youtube codec

-Also leading on from the latter... he thinks 10 minute mixes are sufficiant to showcase a DJ... well sure you don't want to hear 2 hours... but 10 minutes? Comon you need at least 25-30

 

What do you guys think of the factual (and opinions) he's expressed? I'm a little cautious about accepting advice from his videos now.

 

BTW... let's start a Psynews video tutorial thread(I.E. made by psynewsers)!

This is an older video... but his newer ones are just as retarded.

"I notice after 2 bars the vocals come in"

Yeh like any song has that that knows anything about music theory.

 

*Note picture may be from a different video and deliberately taken several times until I got a pic that made him look like a stoner

 

Although these videos were pretty lol

 

[Edit] a video he made last week he now knows what phrases/bars are... a little worrying it took that long though.
